Abstract (en)

Elbow connector (2) for pluggable interconnection of an electrical cable to a mating connector (1), the elbow connector (2) including a casing (4) comprising a plug portion (14) and a separable elbow portion (16), a connection terminal assembly (12) mounted in the casing (4) comprising a plurality of electrical terminals supported by a terminal housing (28) mounted fixedly in the plug portion (14), and a keying arrangement (8) complementary to a keying arrangement of said mating connector for angular orientation of the connection terminal assembly (12) about a plugging axis (A) relative to the mating connector, the elbow portion comprising a cable receiving cavity (17) extending from a cable receiving end of the elbow portion to the plug portion through a bend. The plug portion and elbow portion each comprise inter-engaging orientation elements 44a, 44b configured to allow the elbow portion to be positioned at different discrete angular orientations about the plugging axis (A) relative to the plug portion, the casing further comprising a fastener (18), configured for locking the plug portion (14) to the elbow portion (16) such that the chosen angular orientation of the elbow portion relative to the plug portion is locked.
